Article Synopsis
  • - Ex vivo fluorescence laser scanning microscopy (FCM) enables real-time imaging of fresh tissue samples without traditional slide preparation, and this study specifically investigates its application in evaluating biopsy samples from endoscopic procedures for lung lesions and lymph nodes.
  • - The study involved 32 patients, showing that the FCM Vivascope 2500 could accurately assess sample adequacy and malignancy, with a perfect agreement noted between its evaluations and final histological results.
  • - The findings suggest that FCM could significantly improve the speed of diagnostic information during endoscopic biopsies, potentially enhancing patient management by reducing the time needed to diagnose lung cancer.

Background And Aims: Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) are the mainstay treatment for pancreatic fluid collections (PFC). A 4-weeks interval for LAMS removal has been suggested to avoid adverse events (AEs). Primary aim is to evaluate the AEs rate in patients with LAMS removal <4 and >4 weeks from placement and possible associated factors.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of PuraStat, a topical hemostatic agent, for treating active gastrointestinal bleeding and preventing bleeding in patients undergoing endoscopic procedures.
  • - Data from 401 patients across ten Italian centers showed PuraStat achieved hemostasis in nearly all cases of active bleeding (98.9%) and had a low follow-up bleeding rate (3.9%) for preventive uses.
  • - No adverse events related to PuraStat were reported, indicating it is a safe option that could be used for broader applications than currently recommended.
